Perissodactyla is an order of placental mammals composed of odd-toed ungulates – hooved animals which bear weight on one or three of their five toes with the other toes either present, absent, vestigial, or pointing backwards. Members of this order are called perissodactyls, and include rhinoceroses, tapirs, and horses.
The white rhinoceros is the largest living perissodactyl. Perissodactyla (/ p ə ˌ r ɪ s oʊ ˈ d æ k t ɪ l ə /, from Ancient Greek περισσός, perissós 'odd' and δάκτυλος, dáktylos 'finger, toe' [3]), or odd-toed ungulates, is an order of ungulates.
The two extant orders of ungulates are the Perissodactyla (odd-toed ungulates) and Artiodactyla (even-toed ungulates). Hyracoidea (hyraxes) , Sirenia (sea cows, dugongs and manatees) and Proboscidea (elephants) were in the past grouped within the clade "Ungulata", later found to be a polyphyletic and now invalid clade.
Rather, odd-toed ungulates are known to rest all their body weight in three toes, or just the center toe. Even-toed ungulates on the other hand, rest their weight on their third and fourth toes.
